2005 Buick LaCrosse CXL 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

My LaCrosse CXL has real curb appeal and nice features such as the telescoping stearing wheel. It's very comfortable on the open road, although gas mileage is not as good as the LeSabre I traded in for it. The brakes are very good but acceleration is just ok. I wish GM had made the larger engine standard. The standard radio sounds surprisingly good and adjusts volume as you increase speed. Neat.

I've had my black/black CXS just over two weeks and am mostly happy. The car has just about all of the options. It offers a very smooth ride, and a very quiet interior. Unfortunately, the airbag light is now going on and off, so it's back to the dealer (already) for service.
LaCrosse has comfort, bells & whistles!

I've owned my Buick LaCrosse for nearly one week and have never before experienced such comfort and safety in a 4 dr. sedan. The heated leather seats are great in cold weather and I love having On-star "just in case" of an emergency. The 3.8 liter engine has great pickup on the highway and gives you a quiet, comfortable, and smooth ride, even over snow crusted roads. This vehicle is superbly engineered and has too many features to mention here. I just love my new LaCrosse, and would recommend it to anyone with a small family or a businessman who travels frequently. This vehicle would stand up to any Mercedes or BMW as far as I'm concerned, and it's American made!

LaCrosse (Allure in Canada)is an endless delight. Beautiful, well proportioned exterior and sumptuous interior with excellent ergonomics combine to create a refined driving experience. Form, fit and finish are well integrated to create a unity of purpose that is first class. Powertrain performance is superior and seemless. Flat torque curve, smart safety features, agile suspension system together instill confidence in treating the CXS as a true sports sedan. Quiet tuning and a superb sound system combine to offer distortion-free sound studio quality and listening pleasure be it jazz (Diana Kroll), classics ( Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Perleman), folk-rock (the Eagles, Beatles, Pink Floyd.

I bought my LaCrosse three months ago and traded a 99 Regal GSE. I loved the Regal, but the premium fuel was getting expensive. I expected to get 23 MPG on the LaCrosse and am getting 19. I expected a performance hit over the Regal and I got it. I got 22 MPG with the Regal with EPA rating of 18/26. The LaCrosse is rated 19/27 on regular gas. The car is quiet and comfortable with nice features. I can live with the performance hit, but the mileage is tough to take at $3 per gallon. Anyone considering a CXS should be aware of what you will be getting on mileage. So far I have had no warranty issues. This one is my tenth GM car and will be my last. All in all I should have bought a Toyota!
